A pair of AirPod Pro 3 buds with their case, sitting on a desk.

The new earbuds are said to use low-resolution cameras on their stalks to capture low-resolution imagery, which will ultimately be fed to Apple's long-delayed AI Siri assistant.

Key facts

Summary

Well, it seems like those-rumored AirPods with cameras are close to being real, according to the latest report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The camera-equipped Airpods are reportedly in Apple's "design validation testing" (DVT) stage, where workers are using prototypes to test their capabilities. So what will you be able to do with these things? But even if the new AirPods will have a low-resolution view of the world, they'll still technically be yet another surveillance device, and that alone may turn off privacy-focused users who've already written off Meta's smart glasses. The reporter get it, Apple and all of its compatriots want to make using their AI devices seamless.
